Diamond Sharpening Block

Post by Bruce McC » Sat Feb 11, 2012 7:45 pm

Aldi stores are currently selling a diamond sharpening block
150mm x 50mm, four grits- 200, 300, 400, and 600 for $9.99.
Could be good for something at that price, even fret levelling.

I have two of them bought 3 years apart. Still using the first, the other as a spare.
Both used for rough work (removing chips in chisels, smoothing sides of chisels, resizing spade bits, taking grinding marks out of files I've put a safe edge on, etc,etc)
Saves my good diamond hones for "proper use" (DMT 8000, Eze-lap 400/1200)
They're not flat enough for levelling frets, ( have an Am-tech 6" 600 one which is) but cheap'n cheerful useful none the less.
